With today’s generation only able to show one side of the story, that is why Nokia has chosen to implement the Dual-Sight video in the Nokia 8 and introduce the hashtag #Bothie (instead of selfie, well you get it). It enables users to show the whole story and allows them to livestream natively and in real-time social feeds such as Facebook and Youtube. It gives users who love to create and share special memories an immersive experience. With it being the first smartphone to include ZEISS optics for both front and rear cameras, the Nokia 8 can capture simultaneously from the front and rear cameras with spectacular detail.

It is also the first smartphone to feature the Nokia OZO Audio, which they say has the “exclusive Hollywood technology”. It brings a fully immersive audio experience to your 4K videos and its 360 degree audio capture ensures the playback lets you relieve those moments captured clearly.

Designed to meet the demands of content creators, the Nokia 8 is our flagship smartphone which perfectly balances premium design, an outstanding experience and powerful performance. With millions of photos and videos shared every minute on social media, it’s even easier now for fans to create and share live content – enabling everyone to see both sides of the story – thanks to the Nokia 8’s Dual-Sight video and integrated Facebook Live feature Vijay Thangavelu, Country Manager (Malaysia and Myanmar), HMD Global
